That Makashi being weak against Djem So came from the ROTS book, and you have nothing to knock it down with, so you can get over it.
Oh really? Is this way Nai Fohl, Faunus, and everyone else who has read the same book didn't come to the same conclusion?
Isn't this the same book where Kit Fisto's head ends up on the table top?
Please, stfu.

This was rather cruel of me. Please disregard that post, Glentract. I've been too combative lately. I apologize.

And yet Dooku still lost. The superiority of the form is irrelevant, Anakin was just more powerful.
Why is this so debateable? Dooku's midicholorian count was nothing compared to Palpatine's, and Anakin even had more potential than Palps. I don't find it difficult to believe at all that Anakin surpassed Dooku in fighting strength by the time of RoTS. Best evidence for this - Anakin won.
Btw - Dooku was told to lose, not die. That is not a valid argument.

Dooku wasn't planning on losing his hands try watching his face in ROTS and you'll see an expression of what is called "surprise".

Dooku lost because Sidious told him too lose. End of debate. Dooku had the opportunity to kill both and Obi-Wan during that fight. He took Obi-Wan out of it but left Anakin alive because his master commanded him to do so.

Where is your proof that Dookus midichlorian count was nothing compared to Palpatine's ? In fact we only know that Anakins midichlorian count is superior to that of all other Jedi alive but where do you get the idea from that Sidious midichlorian count (mentioned nowhere) is higher than that of Dooku (also mentioned nowhere) ?

He thought that Anakin will capture him and not that his own master would command Anakin to kill Dooku. He lost on purpose. And yeah...it's hard to believe that somebody who trained with a weapon for 13 years surpassed somebody in combat skill that was praticing with the same weapon for 80 years, using a superior fighting form and - just to remind you - kicked the person that you think "surpassed him in fighting strength" through the room not a minute before getting killed by the same person. Urm...hard to believe that Anakin "surpassed" Dooku in fighting skill because Dooku was toying with Anakin and Obi-Wan even in ROTS.

Exactly. Every time we see Dooku fighting these guys he's toying with them. . .I'd like to see Dooku using his true power to fight (defeat) Anakin.

Please, Mr. DiamondBullets, sir, with no offense meant, try to avert from saying that word. It makes me feel anger because I know what it does. It is one of my most hated words and phrases, up there with "spic," "wetback," and "porch monkey." I have been called these names - they have meaning to me. The words burn a little bit every time I hear them. I understand that maybe you like to say it, but please, with all due respect, sir, please don't consciously type words with such bad connotations. Please. There are other minorities out here, but not all are, and I personally would like for all non-whites to be able to make progress and get ahead, because that has been so hard to do in the past few centuries (I'm mixed Latin American, so I pass most of the time, fortunately for me). I still know what discrimination feels like, and I have come to hate anything associated with it, at least anything that relates to me. I know I am lucky to pass for white, but still, I can't help but recognize the anger that discriminatory words and phrases stir in my heart. Do not be upset, please, sir. I honestly just thought that I'd stick up for my thoughts there. If they seemed ridiculous, then I'm sorry. However people have, for example, stereotyped me as a person can't think too well or articulate his sentences, and I hate it (that's why I want to be so detailed in this approach), despite the fact that I graduated early and am in college at 16. My apologies for how languid that whole thing was.
Peace be with you, sir.
